Outside the courtyard. Su Yu was feeling nervous as well. Would Old Zhou really wake up? He greatly suspected that if he joined in and called Tai Shan's name as well, the entire seventh level would turn into hell. Once again, he opened his 360 acupoints. Immediately, Old Zhou's voice entered his ears. Old Zhou was feeling very wronged as well. But what was Old Zhou feeling wronged about? Su Yu didn't know what to say. Then again, it was understandable. Nobody would feel good after having their body forged into a mansion and their ass turned into a lotus garden. This was perfectly understandable. The Invincibles above the residence had left. Some went to the entrance to deal with He Tu while some started searching the seventh level for Lan Tian. Since they still couldn't enter the residence, it was pointless to wait up there. For now, they should deal with Lan Tian. That lunatic was the one who had triggered this sudden change. Su Yu took the chance to check the index copy. A sentence appeared on it: "What's happening? Is He Tu attacking?" Su Yu replied: "He Tu is here." He used a different index copy and sent a second message: "Mo Duona has gone mad. He killed a lot of immortal geniuses." He sent a third message with a third index copy: "A war has broken out between the immortals and devils." "Lan Tian has gone mad." "Heavens! I want to leave!" He sent over a hundred messages in an instant. At the same time, the people around them were taking their index copies out as well. Someone exclaimed in surprise, "Those outside are trying to help us!" "Send them a message!" Only geniuses and experts would have index copies in their possession. A majority of the geniuses had been killed by Su Yu while the experts were busy fighting for their lives. Thus, only a small number of people around him could contact those outside through index copies. Meanwhile, he could send hundreds of messages at a time. This made it easy for him to further confuse those outside. After receiving so many messages, they wouldn't even know which to trust. It would be great if a war between the devils and immortals could really be triggered. Unfortunately, the old foggies outside were all akin to old turtles. It was unlikely that they would start fighting for real. Su Yu looked around and focused on the surviving index geniuses. Before long, he noted about seven or eight of them. Very good. They were marked for death. Why? Because they were unqualified to own their index copies. Su Yu wanted to be the owner of their index copies as well. "Are things still not chaotic enough? Fine." Su Yu snorted inwardly as he decided to throw even more chaos into the mix. A voice nobody else could hear rang out. Instantly, the entire Devote King's residence started shaking violently. After sending an Invincible flying with a punch, He Tu roared with laughter again. The heavens were truly helping him! The seventh level was shaking even more violently than before. "Tai Shan! Where are you? I have been wronged!" Su Yu paled as the voice reverberated intensely in his mind. Those around him weren't doing much better. All of them paled as they tried to escape. This time, tremors were coming from the pavilion on the pond. The saber started humming as well. Su Yu was naturally not doing this blindly. At that instant, he consumed a drop of Pseudo Invincible blood essence. Suns and moons spun in his eyes as he saw an indistinct River of Time again. While the Pseudo Invincibles were paying close attention to the changes in the courtyard, Su Yu vanished with a flicker. Not even Old Hao noticed his disappearance. The index holders were his target. Some of the lone travelers started vanishing, but nobody noticed it. Su Yu was too fast and too strong for them. About five of them vanished in such a manner. Then, Su Yu returned to his original spot with a flicker. With a swing of his arm, about seven or eight divines vanished as well. With his speed, strength, and his characters, nobody noticed anything. During the instance of chaos, he had moved around the residence and removed almost all the lone travelers from the residence. Those below the Sunmoon Realm were instantly consumed by his book while Sunmoons were suppressed in his book to prevent any phenomenon from appearing. The sudden deaths spawned a large number of death spirits. He said nothing and tossed a pile of ancient city medallions out. The death spirits vanished almost immediately after receiving their payment. Everything had happened silently. Nobody even noticed the appearance of the death spirits. Nobody suspected that the people who had vanished were dead. They merely assumed that those people were elsewhere. After all, death spirits would appear when someone died. The Devote King's residence was massive. It was normal for them to lose someone in the residence. Before long, Su Yu returned to Old Hao's side. Old Hao had been running while believing that Su Yu was behind him. Thus, he had not noticed Su Yu's short departure. After a while, the two hid inside an ancient building. Only then did Old Hao look behind him. He wasn't bothered by the fact that there were only the two of them there. He merely said with fear, "That was scary." Su Yu nodded and said, "Yeah. The seventh level is awful. It's too dangerous." He let loose a string of curses before continuing, "Those behind us were running even faster than us. Where did they go? Are they in a rush to throw their lives away?" Old Hao laughed and said, "Don't blame them. It's not a bad thing for us to run separately. That will prevent further complications." Su Yu nodded, but he stopped cursing. He reckoned that almost all the index holders had been removed by him. Sure, the Pseudo Invincibles and Invincibles were still around, but it didn't matter. He greatly outnumbered them in terms of index copies. He could simply flood their messages away through sheer volume. There was also no guarantee that every message sent would reach those outside. With hundreds of index copies, there was no way the remaining index copies could out-spam him. Apart from this exception, where the seventh level was shaking because of Lan Tian's madness, Su Yu was the one controlling the window where messages could be sent in and out of the mansion. As for the drop of blood essence he had to use for this, he didn't mind it. Six drops and five drops were essentially the same. Losing a drop was no big deal. At the same time. Outside. The expressions of the various experts changed. Numerous messages were coming out of the mansion. Many of Su Yu's messages were among them. A small number of people had also managed to respond to the enquiries of those outside. "The death tunnel is shaking!" "Mo Duona is the killer..." "Lan Tian has gone mad." Su Yu was not mentioned in even one of these messages. Instead, Mo Duona, He Tu, and Lan Tian became the main characters. Dao King stared at the devils coldly. With a frown, Moge said, "The messages are too chaotic. Don't take anything seriously." Nobody said anything. Only now did everyone know that Mo Duona was the culprit. Previously, the immortals grew suspicious when Zhankui died. But they had no proof. But now, they had received numerous messages confirming that Mo Duona was the killer. Lan Tian had gone crazy...they had not received any reason for that. They only knew that Lan Tian was killing people randomly in his madness. One tunnel after another collapsed. Su Yu was killing. Lan Tian was killing as well. In a short time, over a hundred tunnels collapsed. Fewer than 1,500 people remained in the mansion. It was only the end of the sixth day. Over two thousand people had died in the span of six days. Three of them were Pseudo Invincibles. The experts outside reacted differently to this. Some were calm. Some were sad. And some were furious. How long would this continue? Only six days had passed. For many experts, six days could end in the blink of an eye. But more than half of the people inside had died in this blink of eye. Someone said with a tired voice, "Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, is there a way to retrieve these people from the mansion in advance? At this rate, all of them will die." On average, about three to four hundred people were dying daily. These were no mere nobodies. These were the elites of the various races. The scholar replied, "No. They can only return when the time is up. Of course, there are exceptions to that. In the former openings, entrances will appear in the bottom three levels after about half a month. Those inside could leave earlier through those entrances. But do you think that's an option this time?" Everyone was rendered speechless. Yes. There was a way for one to leave the mansion earlier. Su Yu was aware of that as well. But it was unlikely that anyone would be able to leave earlier this time. "Are we supposed to keep watching ?" "According to those inside, the death tunnel is shaking. He Tu is not alone either. The second death sovereign is also incomparably strong. If this continues, the death tunnel will open. Even Eternals will start dying." "Is Fate Pseudo Emperor's prediction really coming true? Will there only be less than one-tenth of them surviving?" "Less than one tenth. That's about three to four hundred survivors. But don't forget what the soul devourer said..." Everyone shivered. They couldn't take Soy Bun's words seriously. But with so many deaths, could they continue neglecting his words? Those they thought would survive had died. Would there really be only ten survivors? Just then, Tiangu's voice rang out, "Heavenly Overseer Marquis, can you allow the people inside to enter the eighth level to take shelter when necessary?" The expressions of many people changed upon hearing that. The scholar replied indifferently, "Why are you asking me? In such a desperate situation, I believe the major races have their own trump cards to deal with the matter. I doubt I'm the only one capable of letting people into the eighth level." One only needed an official ancient past title to do so. Sure, there were no old fossils among those who had entered the mansion. But some of the old fossils had the authority to appoint someone else the positions that would enable them to enter the eighth level. Tiangu was a nobody during the ancient past. However, he was a genius back then. That was why many people knew him. It wouldn't be surprising for some of the people inside to have the ability to enter the eighth level. The process of receiving a position sufficient to enter the eighth level was not as simple as giving one a token of identity. The conferment process was a complicated one. A proper process would be one recorded by the heavenly laws. In a way, Su Yu had undergone such a process. He was the mayor of multiple ancient cities. The Grand Dream City, in particular, held a lot of weight. The mayor of the Grand Dream City was a position officially conferred by the Devote King himself. And that position had been given to Su Yu by the old turtle. Tiangu said, "I'm only reminding you, Heavenly Overseer Marquis. It will be a good idea to help them enter the eighth level when necessary." "The eighth level is not a safe shelter." The Heavenly Overseer Marquis said, "Nobody knows the situation there. And we won't be able to allow too many people entry. Are you planning to abandon the rest? Anyone below the marquis level can only enter with one or two followers. That is the limit." If this was all they could do, it was likely that there would really be fewer than ten survivors at the end. A deathly silence descended. They could only watch silently. There was nothing they could do. The Invincibles felt terrible. They were completely helpless as their people died one after another. Many of Lan Tians clones had been killed. Not many were left. He had vanished completely. He Tu and Dummy had returned to the sixth level as well. The sense of helplessness was driving some of the Invincibles mad. One of them said, "Are we going to continue doing this? When will this end? We are better off charging down there and killing He Tu. Must we wait passively?" Nobody said anything. Who? Who would be the first? What if the others stayed behind? What if the ones left behind decided to block the entrance instead of going down to help? None of them could trust each other. They had the numerical superiority, but they weren't united. In such a situation, who would dare to be the first to go down? A different Invincible said, "The Heaven Department head is strong. As far as I know, the Blood Fire Devil King is here as well. Both of them are only a step away from Daofuse. If they are willing to go, they will be sufficient to kill He Tu and his companion." Up in the sky, the Heaven Department head said, "Are you suggesting that the two of us go down while the rest of you wait here?" Nobody answered. But the answer was yes. The two of them would be enough to kill He Tu and his companion. On the other hand, they would become the strongest competitors when the nine-leaf skylotus bloomed if they remained.
